Curious

Questions that need to be answered but won't be asked:
To Frank Noonan - Do you think Tom Corbett had a moral obligation to do more?
To Tom Corbett - If it was your son in the shower with Jerry would you have given the investigation a higher priority and more resources?

When I received the latest alumni magazine and saw Erickson's smiling face on the cover it made me angry and sick. When I read the PN article on Joyner I realized that the university is in the hands of self-servings bureacrats and people with more money than character. With the upcoming trials, PSU will be in the media hot seat again. I'm sure Corbett will be nowhere to be found this time. Karen Peetz, Erickson, and Joyner will be the face of the university. I am sooooo proud.

I wonder who Ira is going to pick as starting quarterback. It will be Joyner's job to inform BOB that the good old boys have already made the decision. I wonder if BOB knows what he got himself in to. I wonder how much Lubert contributed to Corbett's election fund. I wonder when the transparency will begin, if ever. I wonder how much more evidence the NCAA needs to show loss of institutional control. I wonder.............

I bright young reporter, now "investigative reporter", with a Pulitzer has potential well beyond a job at a state agency. We are talking Sixty Minutes, Washington Post, etc... She can sell herself as a "Sports Investigative Reporter" and work for ESPN Magazine. Given the state of College Football, and sports in general, there is a big demand for fearless reporting in the midst of coverups. I'm glad somebody may benefit from this scandal as the victims will probably not.

Sara got what she wanted and Tom got what he wanted. I don't understand why so many people are unhappy about this. Sara will use her award as a spingboard for her career and become a sucesss in a larger market. Tom, your future is in the hands of the voters that supported you the first time and that will be a problem. And the victims will continue to suffer.........

At this time in Central Pa we could certainly use the likes of Woodward and Bernstein, reporters that put their lives on the line to uncover facts that brought down a presidency. Instead we are fed misleading teasers and articles that are superficial and redundant. PN we deserve better! There is a story behind this scandel that needs to be discovered. Find it and report it!

Came into work one day and was told that the company could no longer afford pensions or retiree health benefits. Sorry, the company needs to stay competitive. It's just amazing how Nonaan frames this as a crisis. I think he has a "moral obligation to do more" and give us all the facts. Frank, tell us how many State Police are retired at a young age with full benefits.

Firing Joe certainly got ESPN off their backs. The media coverage was the most important problem at that time. Ignore the victims, due process, ethics, and reason. Throw them the old coach and they'll climb back into their TV trucks and go home. We'll find a way to convice the stupid alumni that it was the right thing to do.

I feel so much more informed now. Thank you Karen. We are so sorry to hear that the New York Times, like the aluimni, are too inferior to comprehend the wisdom the BOT has showed during these difficult times. If possible please schedule a meeting with the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Alumni Chapters to tell us again. We'd love to meet you and show you how much we appreciate your concern for our inability to recognize the BOT's integrity in their efforts to fulfill Governor Corbetts mission.

In this nation of political correctness, people not being responsible for their own actions, and everybody is a victim, I find it distrbing how easy many ignore their own doctrine to throw an "old-schooler" under the bus. The bottom line is that if the facts show JoePa was involved in a cover-up Corbett and the BOT will stand up and say "I told you so". If the facts show that Joe and Big Red are the only ones that made an attempt to do the right things then what? Will the BOT go over to Joe's gave and apologize in front of the ESPN cameras. I doubt it. They'll slither away and probably find another scape goat.

Lanny Davis, Corbett, and the BOT are either very naive or are up to something. Lanny and Tom are very political people and are good at their trade. Assuming they are up to something, why would they want to pick a fight with the Paterno family and the alumni supporters at this time. Mr. Corbett did not make it to the governors mansion by being naive or stupid. I doubt this is an attempt to draw attention away from his flawed investigation or the BOT's indifference, as it is having the opposite result. For some reason they want to keep this mess in the spotlight. Is this an attempt to bait the Paterno supporters into going "all in" before the results of the investigation(s) are released and the trials begin? Why would they want to turn this into a win / lose event? Think about it.
